Overview
Established by Congress in 1996, the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail commemorates the people, events, and route of the 1965 Voting Rights March in Alabama. Led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Black and White non-violent supporters fought for the right to vote in Central Alabama. Today, you can connect with this history and trace the events of these marches along the 54-mile trail.
Depending on the season, temperatures can soar from the extremes of heat and humidity in the summer to damp, wet cold temperatures in the winter. During the summer season visitors should wear light, comfortable clothing, shoes and use sunscreen. High temperatures and humidity create higher risk of heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heatstroke. During the fall visitors should have a light jacket available as temperatures can drop suddenly. Winter temperatures can be range from mild to extremely cold.
